RULES GOVERNING THE NEW
DRAFT RULES.
The proclamation of the Presi
dent directing that all young
men who have reached the age
21 years since June 5, 1917, shall
register with their respective
local boards on June 5, this year,
excepts the following: Officers
and enlisted men of the Regular
Army, the Navy, the Marine
Corps, and the National Guard
and Naval Militia while in the
service of the United States, and
officers in the Officers Reserve
Corps and enlisted men in the
Enlisted Reserve Corps while in
active service. The proclama
tion further provides:
As required by the regulations,
every local board having juris
diction in a city of 30,000 popu
lation or over will promptly
cause the mayor thereof to be
notified of the place or places
designated for registration;
every local board having jurisdic
tion in a county, parish, or
similiar unit will promptly cause
the clerk thereof to be notified
of the place or places designated
for registration, and every local
board having jurisdiction in a
state or territory will promptly
cause the clerks of the town
ships within its divisions to be
notified of the place or places
designated for registration.
Any person who, on account
of sickness, will be unable to
present himself for registration
may apply on or before the day
of registration at the office of
any local board for instructions
as to how he may register by
agent.
Any person who has no per
manent residence must register
at the place designated for reg
istration by the local board hav
ing jurisdiction of the area
wherein he may be on the day
herein named for registration.
This registration will be com
pleted in one day and the vari
ous boards will paSs upon the
qualifications of the registrant
as heretofore. In the event any
one is dissatisfied with his classi
fication he may appeal to the
district board and should there
be one-dissenting from the decis
ion reached the registrant may
take his case to the President.
The opinion is expressed that
the total number of young men
registered will reach 10 per cent,
of the number registered here
tofore. This view is based on
the fact that 10 per cent, of
those enrolled last year were 21
years old. There will be wards
in which this expectation will
not be realized and there are
others again in which it may go
as high as 15 per cent.

OCCUPATIONS MUST WORK
-- OR FIGHT.
Those affected by new order,
are Gamblers of all descriptions,
and employees and attendants of
bucket shops and race tracks,

ing of food and drink, or either,

ments, excepting actual perform
ers in legitimate concerts, operas
or theatrical performances.

NEED MORE WHEAT TO WIN
HOOVER ISSUES APPEAL
"It is imperative that all thoa*
whose circumstances permit ahall ab
stain from wheat in any form until
the next harvest." That la the key
note of Mr. Hoover’s appeal issued
from the pulpits on Sunday to the
free American people. There is no
blinking the truth; the call is clear.
In the past, presentation of the facts
has been enough to rouse the nation
to meet all necessary requests. To
day, although the need Is more acute,
there Is still no oomputalon.
That would be the Prussian —not
the American —way.
The fact Is thus put by Mr. Hoover:
“If we are to satisfy the minimum
wheat requirements of our armies and
the Allies and the suffering millions
in the Allied countries, our consump
tion until the next harvest must be
reduced to one-third of normal. For
each of us who can personally contri
bute to the relief of human suffering
ft Is a privilege, not a sacrifice."
The Maryland Food Administration
does not need to plead Mr. Hoover's
case. It is confident that the citi
zenry, in face of a direct and unequi
vocal appeal for even greater wheat*
thrift, will vouchsafe a response
measuring fully up to the traditions
and Ideals of this State. The phrase,
"Wheat 1b the Test” Is no mere catch
word. It is a vital truth that should
burn Its way Into each Individual con
science. "It is Inconceivable that we
should fall In this crisis," declares
Herbert Hoover. "It Is Inconceivable,"
adds State Administrator Baetjer,
“that Marylanders, men, women and
children, could be so enslaved to cus
tom or convenience that they should
make unneeded Inroads on that scanty
■tore of wheat upon Which our Allies
and our own fighting flesh and blood
(depend not for mere comfort, but for
very existence.
The public eating places have been
urged to practice wheat-saving to an
extent that will satUfy not only the
law of the land, but also the con
science of their proprietors. Their re
sponse shows a willingness to “go the
limit.’’ But It Is In the homes that
seven-eighths of the country’s food
stuffs are consumed; and with
faith in the active loyalty of all true
citizens, the Maryland Food Admin-’
Istration makes appeal for a mani
festation of patriotism to bridge a
crisis which will end with this sum
mer.
Are you a No-Wheater or just a
Victory Loafer?
Don’t let the wheat In your kitchen
give the lie to the flag at the front of
your house.
POTATO OMELET.
(Official Recipe.)
Ons cup mashed potato, one-quarter
teaspoon pepper, one teaspoon salt,
three eggs, three tablespoons cream,
milk or water.
Beat the eggs very light, heat the
potato with milk until creamy, add
seasoning gnd beat eggs and potato
together. Cook as an ordinary
omelet.
BTOCK-POT IN EVERY HOME.
No people is more thrifty than the
French. Indeed, the national wealth
Is said to be founded on the stock-pot
Into which go odds and onds which
wasteful housewives are apt to toss
Into the garbage can. Moving plcturss
have been ssnt on tour by the National
Food Administration to teach the
American women what splendid soups
can be obtained from scraps and left
overs which ars commonly wasted.
One small boy watched the “hero
ine” of one of these films carefully
pare her vegetables and then place
them In her stock-pot “What’s the
lady going to do, mother, feed the
chickens ?’’ he asked. Instead of that,
■he soon produced a delicious bouillon
which astonished not only sonny, but
mother. This war Is a great educa
tion against waste; and none of Its
discoveries Is more simple than the
■took-pot
Insure your home against another
real or artificial food shortage next
winter by planting a war-garden. If
It is only twenty paces by fifteen,
enter It In the Food Administration’s
185,000 Produce Contest, where the
conditions give you as big a chance
to win a prise as any rival gardener
in your county. m
Harvesting machinery should be or
dered now, so as to avoid any war
time delays at terminal and transfer
points. There 1* lots of machinery,
bat It can't all be moved at once.

America's manufacture of corn flour

K YOUR GARDEN ENTRY IN?
Patronize the Motel Whoatloss

Street.
Buying U. 8. Bonds, which pay good
Interest on the best security In the
universe Is a patriotic service. Sav
ing wheat —ounce by ounce—ls not so
1 spectacular, but yet an even surer
test. Already the United States ha?
won the admiration of the Allies by
cutting wheat consumption to ons
-1 third of normal. That Is a splendid
record, but, on the word of Herbert
Hoover, It has to be beaten.
The Pood Thrift spoclal takes no
passengers for Ehrtrameal, White
bread, All Sugar, or any town on the
Eatmore Railroad.
Food waste Is treason.

your heart be also. Is your heart 1U

POTATO CORNMEAL MUFFINS.
(Official Recipe.)
f tablespoons vegetable oil, 1 table
spoon sugar, 1 well-beaten egg. X cup
milk, 1 cup mashed potatoes, 1 cup
cormneal, 4 level teaspoons baking
powder, 1 teaspoon salt. Mix in order
given. Bake 40 minutes in a hot oven.
So Many Kinds of food now figure in
Its card system of rationing that the
British Government will Issue books
to record future purchases of eatables.
Tea, already officially doled out In
many provincial towns, is to be added
to the ration list, as well as chees*.
and probably lard. Many mills have
been equipped to make potato flour
and Its compulsory use in all bread Is
erxpected.
"Food for Amusement Purposes U
under the ban" is a rule the Maryland
Food Administrator wishes to call to
the notice of societies and organiza
tions who have been attracting people
to gatherings by serving refreshments.
“No fourth meal or luncheon that does
not take the place of a regular meal is
permissible, and the restriction again it
waste applies to every form of food.
American women • are Ingenious
enough to entertain without a lunch
as a magnet.”
Commercial Kitchens are now help
ing the British food supply go round.
The Royal Borough of Kensington fur
nlehes the following meal ready cooked
for 12 cents; Soup, 2 cents; fish cakes,
4 cento; half portions of potatoes and
cabbage. 2 cento; corn-flour mold, 4
cents. Kensington Is one of the bet
ter-class residential districts of Lon
don.
Australia has 100,000,000 bushels of
wheat for flour this year on hand,
which H wants to sell at 95 Cents a
bushel. But ferwUshlps can be spared
from the shorter trips between the
U. &. A. and France. It Is America’s
wheat which must win the war.
“It we don't send over million
barrels of flour a month we may be
licked,” declared Everett Colby, of the
Federal food staff. In a message he car
ried from Herbert Hoover to the citi
zens of Toronto.
Write to the Division of Publications
of the U. S. Department of Agriculture

The use of Wheat flour by loyal
Americans Is a conooeslon to Chelr
stomachs at the expense of their
hearts.
The need for more men on the west
ern fronts Increases the demand for
ships. None can be spared for the
long trips to the Argentine where
000,000 bushels could be had at SIBB.

AVOIDING THE RUSH HOURS I
If the telephone traffic curve in the cornet
of the illustration could he flattened, as a railroad engineer
lowers grades, it would effect a material saving and assist
us to meet the extraordinary demands for telephone service. I
By avoiding the high spots in traffic, around ten o'clock ;
in the morning and three o’clock in the afternoon, and
by making telephone calls of a social or less urgent nature |
before or after these rush hours, the telephone user will
help us to meet the constantly increasing demand for
telephone service.
